As we walked in, I was so impressed with how many products they were offering. Lots of different honeys, candies, ciders, sauces, pickled vegetables, toys, beef jerky, snacks, and so much more. Absolutely, loved the samples of apple ciders. They were offering cherry and boysenberry flavors. We enjoyed the boysenberry cider so we had to get a cup of it. Although, I felt it was pricey for a small cup of cider where I gulp it in a minute. Really refreshing since it was a nice day out in Julian. The staff were very inviting and nice. Store is small, so when it got busy we had to leave. Worth checking out when you are looking for something to do in Julian.

Honestly, it was kind of tricky locating it based on my GPS but I found it. There was no problems with parking which was great. As compared to the outside, inside was a very pleasant surprise.

What a nice escape!! My honey-wine was a winner. To the Yelp Community at large, you're in for a swwweet treat. :-)

We pulled up to the driveway of the barn and a man was outside. He said they did not open up for another 30 min. I knew we wouldn't make it back over there before they closed back up since we were heading to Julian for the day. After chatting for a couple minutes, he offered to let me purchase some bottles right then, before they opened. He shared seasonal flavors with me and even gave me a tasting of their seasonal green apple - which was SO good! He was very kind to show me where it's all made too. I'm so excited to have my 3 bottles to share with my friend! This totally made my day!

A good friend of mine loves their cider and wanted to go after a bike ride. I'm not a cider fan…read morepersonally, but I do like to eat! I ordered the TV dinner with brisket, macaroni and cheese and slaw. I also ordered their lemonade, which they did not have enough of to pour me a full serving. The bartender gave me a cup with a little bit of it, and it tasted good. I ordered a sweet tea in its place and asked for lemons, but they don't have lemons. The tea came out and it was OK but seemed like it either came from concentrate or was made a couple days ago. I mixed in the bit of lemonade that I had and that was good as an Arnold Palmer. Our food came out almost immediately. My macaroni and cheese and brisket were barely warm. The macaroni and cheese had heavy Velveeta shells and cheese vibes... just OK but nothing special. The brisket had a very good flavor but was very dry. It came with barbecue sauce, but I'm not a fan of barbecue sauce so I ate it like it was. The slaw was excellent. My friend got an order of fries which were delicious, I ate a bunch of them. She also got these jalapeño peppers that were wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese and I think pulled pork. She seemed to like them a lot, but she said that she's gotten them before a few times and every time they've been different The bartender that served us was really nice, she was happy to make recommendations. I thought the interior of this business was really nicely put together. Very clean and well organized.

FIVE STAR BREWS!…read more Visited this place a couple times and enjoyed all of their brews and drinks. The service I experienced here was overall solid. As for the drinks, the place is an excellent place to go to based on their ciders alone. Although this place is a Cidery, they have something for everyone here. Moreover, the atmosphere here was warm, welcoming, and fun. The only thing that isn't so much 5 star here, TBH, is the fact that an automatic 20% tip seems to be included on every electronic purchase. I won't be knocking off a star for this because, at least for my visit here, the people behind the counter deserved an excellent tip. However, if I were to give my best advice for visiting here for the first time, I'd recommend paying with cash. Cheers!

Raging Cider and Mead Co. in San Marcos is the spot for mead and cider lovers! This small and…read moreintimate tasting room specializes in high-quality, small-batch mead and cider, with rotating seasonal flavors that keep things fun. From dry to semi-sweet to fruity or spiced, there's something for everyone. Standouts include their crisp hibiscus cider, traditional mead, and unique barrel-aged options. The space is small, but welcoming, with knowledgeable staff who love to share what they do. It's a great place to try authentic cider and mead. If you don't know where to begin, ask for recommendations based of your palate. They've got a dog-friendly patio, which is a huge plus, and there's plenty of parking, making it super easy to stop by. The patio is shaded and covered by passionfruit vines. There's even an apple tree too! Raging also hosts a variety of events, like trivia nights and food truck pairings, that make each visit a little different. If you're in the area (or even if you're not!), it's well worth the visit. Support a local, family-oriented business doing something unique, and doing it well! Check their hours, since they are only open Friday through Sunday.

Luckily, there was a festival to join them in celebrating the rebirth that Spring brings with music, food, libations, and more...a great time to be had by all. I love that the owners are commited to only locally sourced apples, pears, honey, and other fruit as well as committed to showing love to "ugly" and overproduced fruit which would normally go to waste to instead help financially support farmers. This meadery and cidery is easy to get to...take the Las Posas Exit on the 78 and off of Furniture Row. There's tons of parking. Once inside, I noticed it's an intimate venue with a down-to-earth vibe. There's seating between the tasting room and outdoor patio. Importantly, the staff is very welcoming. I had a MERRY good time!

I can't say enough good things about this place! Staff is always super helpful. From the first sip,…read moreyou can taste the quality and craftsmanship in every pour. The flavors are bold, clean, and perfectly balanced never overly sweet, just smooth and refreshing. I love their rotating menu and then there's always one non-alcoholic option. Anywho, there is always something new and creative to try, which makes every visit exciting. My current obsession is Banana Apple Bum, it seriously tastes like the banana from Runts candy (in the best nostalgic way possible ). It's fun, unique, and somehow still crisp and refreshing. The value is fantastic for the quality you get, and the vibe is always welcoming and laid-back. If you're anywhere near Scripps Ranch, this spot is a must-visit. I'll definitely keep coming back to see what delicious flavor they come up with next!
